Could someone please identify theis spider for me? It was found in my sisters garden and unfortunately she was bitten on several occasions by it's kin, which made her quite ill. Very severe swelling to leg where bite occured. Also sadly one of her dogs died of poisoning and we need to know if this could be related? My sister caught one of them (see pic) for me to photograph and the spider laid eggs (also see pic).
